What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hi there. Here is my situation. I was driving thru Roseville CA and was cited for driving to slow.
The situation is as follows. I was driving in the lane next to the road work being performed (New asphalt was being laid) There were cones present. The posted limit is 45 MPH I was doing 20-25.
I slowed from 40 due to a construction vehicle backing up (front end loader) with part of the vehicle (rear scraper) coming really close to the cones. This is all less than 100ft from a stop light. I slowed due to the caution of the equipment backing up.
After slowing I started to speed up. As I took my attention away from the construction vehicle the traffic in front of me came to a stop. I hit my breaks but was unable to stop and hit the people in front of me.
We pulled off the main road and into a parking lot. The officer shows up and asks the normal questions and asked me how fast I thought I was going just before the accident. I told her 20-25 because of the construction going on.
A few days later I got a citation stating that I was going slower that what was safe. I then got a notice from placer county stating I was doing 26 mph over the speed limit. The "Complaint" I received stated I was doing 20 in a 45.
Any advice on this?
